The management and children of Teshie Orphanage were overjoyed and thrilled when Afriwave Telecom Ghana Limited upgraded their library to a modern standard and provided it with state-of-the-art learning equipment.

Afriwave, a local company in Ghana, took the initiative to renovate the library and equip it with a thousand bookshelves and six desktop computers, along with a one-year internet subscription.

In a statement, Mr. Lord Aboagye, Corporate Affairs Officer of Afriwave Telecom Ghana, emphasised the significant impact that upgrading the Orphanage Library into a cutting-edge facility would have on the children. 

The initiative showcases Afriwave Telecom's dedication to assisting and enhancing educational resources for individuals facing disadvantages.

Mr Francis Poku, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Afriwave Telecom, emphasised that the library refurbishment was a crucial step towards the company's goal of making a lasting difference in the lives of underprivileged children.

“At Afriwave, our priority is to assess the sustainability and impact of the support we provide,” he stated. 

He also emphasised the importance of investing in the education of our future leaders as a means of ensuring the long-term success of any initiative.

He mentioned that Afriwave Telecom is preparing to launch its SMS platform, which will serve as a centralised hub for VAS providers to connect with mobile network operators.


Mr. Poku highlighted the significance of Afriwave's SMS platform in meeting the communication requirements of customers connected to the ICH.

He also mentioned that the SMS platform would not only meet the communication needs of customers, but also provide a smooth messaging experience and transparent billing.

Customers would have the ability to maintain control over costs and make well-informed decisions.

He encouraged VAS providers, banks, corporate organisations, and players in the telecom industry to utilise the platform for their messaging requirements.

The ICH is fully connected to all the telecommunication providers in Ghana and is already carrying all interconnect voice traffic in the country.

Mr. Poku encouraged the orphanage to persist in nurturing these young children, helping them regain the confidence necessary for their growth into well-rounded adults.

Mr. and Mrs. Parker, founders of the home, expressed their gratitude to Afriwave for their generous support during this critical time of the year.

Mrs. Parker extended her heartfelt appreciation to the entire management and staff of Afriwave for nominating the home for this special recognition.


Teshie Orphanage is a private and nongovernmental organisation that offers a safe haven and a nurturing environment for orphans and vulnerable children in the Teshie community.

It is supported by kind-hearted individuals and organisations to educate and care for these children, helping them prepare for the challenges of the world.

The Cacophony About Mahama's 24-Hour Economy Policy Idea Confirms Its Strong Potential For Success

By Laary Watch
The overwhelming disruptive noise and emotionally charged interlaced with the incoherent argument put forth by Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia's followers about the Mahama 24-hour economy policy demonstrate that the noble policy idea has far-reaching potential and significant advantages in resuscitating Ghana's ailing economy. This cacophony also shows that no matter how desperate or how much media campaign propaganda is applied, the benefits of John Dramani Mahama's 24-hour economy policy (better called Mahama 24) cannot be discredited, dismissed, disapproved of, or invalidated. The good people of Ghana have overwhelmingly endorsed it, period. Since Mr. Mahama, the National Democratic Congress' (NDC) presidential candidate for the 2024 general election, announced the Mahama 24, the level of discussion has shifted from grassroots analysis to a more sophisticated interrogation, which is helping to refine it for better implementation. This groundbreaking policy, Mahama 24, h...

Empowering African Women in Cross-Border Trade: A Differentiated Approach for Success

By Laary Watch
Trade is an important pathway to Africa's export-led industrialisation. The World Bank predicts that the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) will boost Africa’s income by US$450 billion by 2035 and increase intra-Africa exports by over 81 per cent.  However, current estimates of African trade flows tend to miss the contribution of informal traders in border regions and small enterprises run primarily by women and youth. We also know that between 50 and 60 per cent of total intra-African trade is carried out by unregistered traders or firms.  As women constitute up to 70 per cent of informal cross-border traders, their contribution to trade and industrialisation is grossly undervalued. They are also locked out of emerging opportunities.  According to a report titled Engine of Trade in Africa: Amplifying the Voices of Women across Africa on how to make the AfCFTA Protocol on Women and Youth in Trade work for development, pre-existing gender imbalances at the macro,...
